Abstract
The early 20th century was a period rife with racial and anti-Black violence that impacted every corner of the United States. Recent archaeological studies have been undertaken to understand these sites of violence; however, more work needs to be done. This article, focusing on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and its 2021 centennial, shines a light on how survivors, descendants, and stakeholders shape these events by using memory, the landscape, and archaeology as tools to tell their own stories in the past and present.
